Laboring in the obscurity he so richly deserves for over eight years now, your crusty correspondent continues to offer his views on family, law, politics and money. Nothing herein should be taken too seriously: If you look closely, you can almost see the twinkle in Curmudgeon's eye. Or is that a cataract?

This must have seemed like a good excuse at the time

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- A man who police say was caught with two pounds of marijuana allegedly told officers the drug wasn't his because he stole it.

Linn County Attorney Harold Denton said it doesn't matter how Bradley Robison, 18, got the marijuana -- only that he had it. "If you steal it, you steal it and you possess it," Denton said. "It's a double whammy."
